Part 4 In a certain room of an apartment building. The light was on in the room, but it was permeated with an inexplicable ghostly atmosphere. A slight stench stung the nose, a peculiar odor. "......The effects are more than expected, how unpleasant." "......Yes, it's really unfortunate." This was a secret base prepared as a precaution, like the so-called 'three holes to a rabbit's den' [7] . There were no furniture or appliances in the room, and many already-opened boxes were placed on the floor. The boxes were of the same size, and each one was a cardboard box close to one meter in length. The exteriors were covered with charms and the interiors were stuffed full of dirt. "Has the Onmyou Agency moved?" "They look calm from the outside, but that's only the exterior."
"Could the council be being too cautious? The king has already confirmed his own identity." "I feel the same, but it's much easier for us to act than pray to their cautious movement." He carefully and warily scooped through the dirt in the box under the cold glow of the fluorescent light. Not long after, he quietly took out an object from inside the dirt. It was a pot. The pot was sealed shut, and incantations were densely written all over the outside. He shook the pot slightly, and a definite presence came from inside. A cold, unrepressed smile emerged on his face. "Have you contacted that person?" "You mean the important one? Not directly." "Might be useful, depending on the circumstances......" "......I hadn't planned on showing my hand so quickly if possible." He wiped off the dirt on the pot, slowly tearing off the seal.
